Famous Ukrainian journalist and commentator Ihor Tsyganik has compiled an express preview of the Ukrainian Premier League play-off final: "Epicentre vs Veres and Obolon vs Left Bank.
Igor Tsyganik"The first play-off matches for the right to play in the UPL next season. "Epicentre will host Veres at the Left Bank Stadium, and Left Bank will visit Obolon Stadium, both games will take place in the capital.
I would like to tell you my personal opinion that I will be supporting Serhiy Nagornyak (Epicentre coach). I have been friends with him for a long time, we have worked together, and I respect him a lot. I believe he has made heroic progress with Epicentre, leading them to the knockout stages. This is not the richest team in the Ukrainian First League, but he managed to get a chance to compete with them for promotion to the UPL.
The teams from the First League do not have the burden of responsibility for the result in the playoffs, unlike the UPL representatives. These teams can feel at ease and try to surprise the favourites. But Obolon and Veres have a lot to lose, they will be very concerned about the result in the play-offs, and this could play a cruel joke on them.
I would venture to guess that Epicentr will be able to avoid losing to Veres in the first duel, and we will see an exchange of goals in the Obolon vs.
